Never doing sketch or signature series without Cgc at the show again!

20 posts in this topic

I am done.. finished . An entire arm of collecting is nearly closed off. Went out to a show to pick up a piece of original art from Scott Williams a few months ago. While I was there I had him sign and remark a copy of the book. Since I was going to be there I commissioned Larry Stroman to do a sketch cover. CGC was not at the show but a very well known local facilitator was there and took my books to submit. I never heard from them when I reached out they realized they lost a box of books after they came back from CGC!!! They made good and refunded me what I had into them in cash, but that does not replace the experience.. to add insult to injury when asked for the cert numbers to see if someone tried to sell them .. they both were 9.8s

below are the books- if anyone sees them for sale please let me know.

Thanks

I’m so sorry to hear that. I hope they turn up and if I see them at any Midwest shows I’ll sound the alarm. Also, can you post the very numbers? That may help if they are indeed found and are still slabbed (from my experience police or anyone not familiar with comics asks about a serial number or identification number.)

So you have the paperwork and know the cert numbers. Could CGC not provide the info on where they books were sent to? Maybe even getting the police involved they could get the information?

Thanks-

The books made it back to the facilitator. It is a comic store- the books went missing after they were received, I have no clue how it happened, neither does the owner. I said someone must have stolen them, he said he checked his video and nothing... So I have no idea.

I had a similar experience with a shop not going to name it but I went in to get my books and they lost them and couldn't find it they almost gave me someone else's submission with same last name. Two days later they found them in a different section of the store and are not sure how it got there,
